    Mets sign Verlander. First tweet says 2 years, with a 3rd year vesting option.

    Everyone who manages to make the highest level of the game is sort of a star. Really weird tbh to want specific highest level players to make less money. Like, what happened to you as a child that makes you want to see guys like Santiago Espinal or Chris Boucher not get paid? The uber stars can elevate their income with endorsements and s*** anyway.

    Why does that matter? They just have smaller rosters. Team payrolls in the top half of the NBA are similar to top half of MLB. Believe MLB average payroll is slightly higher, actually.

    nah, he would get in on merit the 3000 strikeouts alone = an impressive enough milestone to overcome some of the other shortcomings like never winning a Cy

    I'm guessing he just means first amendment stuff

    3 years for Verlander is insane. Anyone his age is year-to-year. If he has another big injury it's game over. Based on his talent it's reasonable to risk a second year on him but risking a third at such a high AAV - that's a hail mary move most teams should never make. I high payroll team that can absorb $40M in dead money for one or two years... sure. Go for it.

    I mean you make jokes tweets about hanging journalists Ask to be removed from the ballot … The personification of f*** around and find out
  9. Laika
    Nah it’s about more than that And also about the how. The intent. The “character” to use the HOfs language.
  10. Laika
    I dunno man. f*** around, find out. Act antisocial and you won’t be invited to social institutions. It’s not that complicated
  11. Laika
    That’s not really it The guy is an insane loser and was tweeting jokes about killing journalists, saying muslims are nazis, stuff like that

    AA shot it down Not Atlanta

    Well Semien was a good shortstop who was not getting high end offers because the market was thick. And teams don’t like to guarantee 30 year old shortstops the position forever. I just mean one of these guys could sign a pillow deal and play second base. Or a longer term 2B deal like Story. Toronto basically has 2B open. Three internal options but all of them could be dealt or used as bench players. I don’t think trading Bo is something they want to think about doing
  14. Laika
    There’s a chance they pull a Semien with someone
  15. Laika
    Yeah, a bit less actually. The cost of WAR stopped inflating several years ago for whatever reason
  16. Laika
    Perez and Gray just aren’t good enough to be the #3 and #2 starters. The Rangers have a lot of work to do still. Need two more bats, some RP upgrades, better SP depth, and then pray for health. Maybe they can get in there
  17. Laika
    I like it
  18. Laika
    Yeah I don’t know when they come out There is The Bat and The Bat X The Bat X is kind of the most forward thinking… incorporates new types of data. It’s experimental basically.
  19. Laika
    Yet they do You should ask why and re-examine how you think about players
  20. Laika
    Oh Brett Baty for sure. His projections are great.
  21. Laika
    The tone of that text makes me thing this was not his choice
  22. Laika
    He's basically a replacement level arm and he's owed $37M In theory you could get Alek Thomas + Bumgarner for literally nothing going to other way, which I would of course do, but I doubt Toronto has the budget to eat $23M in 2023 payroll and that's not a realistic trade idea.
  23. Laika
    I'd do that. Springs interests me more than Bello FWIW.
  24. Laika
    Damn. I hate pitchers, but I guess so. I'd still try to get a better piece than Vaughn. Eury Perez + another stud might be good enough though
  25. Laika
    awesome.
